I recon the bones will prepair but you will have to take it to a fossil preparitor, there are a few in Whitby.

It will unfortunately cost money to have it 'done' but in return you will have a fantastic specimen, also the preparitor would probably put a name to it, tell you if it was a upper or lower lias specimen, how big it was aprox and lot's more imformation about vertebrae animals of the Yorkshire coast.
